	New social movements - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term new social movements (NSM) refers to a plethora of social movements that have come up in various western societies roughly since the mid-1960s (i.e.
		These movements differ from traditional social movements that had previously centered on economic concerns, such as the labor movement.
		Some NSM theorists argue that the key actors in these movements are members of the "new middle class", or service-sector professionals (such as academics).

		The contemporary social movements have localized and pluralized the concept of legitimacy and normalized a new form of collective action aiming to alter the medium of knowledge, communication and the structure of social, economic and political power.
		New social movements have emerged as a critical response to the negative aspects of the globalisation process because it undermined the legitimacy of the public sphere and the notion of public good.
		It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that new social movements have been provoked by the domination of society by the capital, the state and undemocratic technological, political, economic and social institutions.

		Social movements articulate the tension between the expanding spheres of human autonomy and growing regulation inherent in the logic of postindustrial development.
		New social movements, in contrast to old social movements, are produced by new contradictions of society, contradictions between individual and state.
		Social movements of the former kind do not want to change the existing values of society (in other words, the basis of social order); they want to change only norms of society (in other words, to preserve the basic features of the society but to change some social mechanisms).

		The results of this research further indicate that public approval of new social movements constitutes a relatively coherent pattern: a variety of analyses reveal that people tend to respond similarly to each of the movement goals.

	Apostates and New Religious Movements
		Each new schism from an already established organization of faith has been likely to be seen, by those from whom the schismatics have separated, as a case of apostasy.
		In recent decades, given the emergence of so many new religious bodies which make strong demands on the loyalty of their members, instances of apostasy have become matters of considerable attention for the mass media.
		Contemporary religious bodies, operating in a context of rapid social change and changing perceptions of religious and spiritual belief, are likely to be particularly susceptible to the disparagement and misrepresentation which occurs through the circulation and repetition of the accounts of apostates.

		Ten years after democratic elections in South Africa a new social movement is being born in S.A. Like the mass democratic movement, which challenged apartheid, the new social movement is rooted in struggles in communities around the country for a better life.

		We can't build a movement on just a youth culture, of people who are available, or a jetset culture, whether its progressive or not, of people who can just take off time and who have the means to get to some venue somewhere in the world, and who don't have families or jobs or whatever.

		This is a current in sociology and psychology that opposes a different view of the problem, upheld by other scholars who do not deny the existence of forms of conditioning in certain religious movements, although in different degrees and with different features, depending on the individual case.
		In the early 1980s, some U.S. mental health professionals became controversial figures for their involvement as expert witnesses in court cases against new religious movements, during which they presented their anti-cult theories of brainwashing, mind control, or "coercive persuasion" as if they were generally accepted concepts within the scientific community.
		Whether or not we use a theory such as "coercive persuasion" to describe such extreme forms of social influence, located along a continuum of differing intensity, is an issue which can and must be discussed with intellectual honesty in a professional association of psychologists.
